I'd be interested in knowing what other people think of that

"translation," but I at any rate don't think it has much to do with

the serious study of Black English; it came out around the time of

the controversy over Ebonics, and was I think intended as a satire

on the language, not a representation of it. Best, Larry Rosenwald
